Back Cover: The synthesis of fully amorphous, hydrophobic oligomers that are perfectly 2.0 telechelic in alcohol functionality is presented. These precisely functionalized oligomers are all hydrocarbon in nature, and their structure is designed such that no tertiary hydrogens exist within the repeat unit. Combining these structural features leads to low‐temperature performance along with excellent resistance to both hydrolysis and oxidative degradation when used in the preparation of block and segmented soft materials. Further details can be found in the article by J. E. Schwendeman and K. B. Wagener * on page 1818 .
